https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168498 Sections 53 and 67 of the Bombay Town Planning Act, 1955 were treated as provisions for compulsory acquisition through statutory vesting of land in the local authority, and were not saved by Article 31(5)(b)(ii) merely because the scheme served sanitation, health, or improvement objectives; that exception was confined to measures abating a public menace. The Act was nevertheless held to satisfy Article 31(2) because it laid down a compensatory scheme based on reconstituted plots, monetary adjustment, and market value at the relevant statutory date, and post-Fourth Amendment the adequacy of that principle was not justiciable. The Article 14 challenge also failed because the scheme applied uniformly to all lands covered by the town-planning scheme and had a rational relation to planned development. en-us Mon, 13 Jan 1969 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 14:34:07 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168498 Sections 53 and 67 of the Bombay Town Planning Act, 1955 were treated as provisions for compulsory acquisition through statutory vesting of land in the local authority, and were not saved by Article 31(5)(b)(ii) merely because the scheme served sanitation, health, or improvement objectives; that exception was confined to measures abating a public menace.
